Stanley had the clever idea to mount a flashlight on a tripod for hands-free operation. This comes in handy if you're trying to do repair work during a power outage, for example, or doing wiring work in a crawlspace.This flashlight is sturdy and well-made: tripod legs are made of durable anodized aluminum, and the lamp head is a graphite ABS composite with a shatter-resistant polycarbonate lens. True to its name, the MaxLife will run through batteries much less quickly than incandescent models thanks to the energy-efficient LED bulb (the manufacturer claims it will give you a run time of over 200 hours on nine AA batteries). When you start to approach the 200th hour, a low-power indicator lets you know when it's time to change the batteries. You can also switch between high, medium, and low lighting intensities, and the multi-position head lets you aim the light where you need it (this is especially handy in tripod mode). This model also comes with three color lenses-blue, green, and red-for various nighttime applications. The flashlight will run on three, six, or nine AA batteries (not included).--Josh Dettweiler
